Wow clipped shirt stays, I haven't thought of these in a while-- I went to a trade school for university and we had military style uniforms (cringe school) shirt stays were a super common thing to wear, thing is this one that clips your socks? not the most popular, at least not after The Incident.* Basically one guy'd clipped his stays to the sides of his socks (more comfy) unlike in the pic above, which both put more stress on the elastic and a bit of a curve to the trajectory of the stay-- so when the clip have given way, with a no doubt a very interesting demonstration of potential energy transferring violently into kinetic energy, it snapped him RIGHT in the balls. Poor dude was rolling on the parade deck while his squad all were asking wtf had just happened, while the rest of us were all desperately trying not to react Years later, every time i see pictures of the clip kind of shirt stays I can hear him crying out, poor dude *In case you want to look snazzy and wear shirt stays for formal events GET THE STIRRUP TYPES, please I beg, they go under your socks, not over, btw **Morning Formation, but hilariously named so i refuse to expand it in that sentence
imagine someone having a sock garter fetish but its these
